For a beginner, I would recommend that you not try to develop modules for 
Redhat-packaged kernels.  Redhat has a reputation for adding all sorts of 
weird patches to stuff.  I'd recommend you go to www.kernel.org and 
download a vanilla kernel that most closely matches what the author used.

I'd also recommend against using a kernel programming book where the 
author only deals with Redhat kernels.  I'm not sure if that's the kind of 
book you've got.
Hopefully somewhere in the first chapter (or the preface/introduction/forew
ard)
the author will tell you the exact kernel version he used.
